Healthfulness of Mississippi.

AS a great many Of our Northern
and Western countrymen are turn
ing their attention Southwark, we
have deemed it advisable at this
time 10 relrwluts the article which
appeared in the Churchman some
time ago, cmanatirg from the able
pen of Hugh Miller Thompson, as
sistant Bishop oi the Episcopal
church tor the State of Mississippi.
Bishop Thompson is now a much
esteemed resident oi Jackson, Miss.
and is q fine specimen of physical
manhood. lie has traN elcd all over
our State and is perfectly familiar
with what he writes in regard to
the hcalthfulness OF the people. He
quotes from the official compilations
at Washington, ID. c., as an evidence
of the truthlulness of his statement 8,
and no one in this State is more ca
pablo Of tiulhlully stating our con-
dition than the distinguished gen
tleman above mentioned:
To The Churchman's:
have received a number of let
GERS of inquiry, in which great stress
is laid on the question of The health
of Mississippi. do not wonder al
this, although there is ground for
wonder at the persistent ignorance
Of any part of our great country
concerning any other part.
Will you allow me to say then,
that by official Washington figures,
Mississippi is just one-third heal
thier than New York and Massa-
chusetts, twenty-five per cent.
healthier than Virginia or Indiana,
and twenty per cent. or so healthier
than Illinois or Pennsylvania?
Its death rate is under thirteen in
the thousand Considering that
half it's population is colorcd, and
that the colored death rate il halt
greater than the white in all the
South, l suppose the ordinary death
rate in Mississippi is not above
ten in the thousand, little more
than e-third the death rate of New
York City.
In the letters that l have received
there is frequently mention OF
malaria, and a wholesome dread is
n,y;nnnI IF fhot n fhi n N
about which the faculty knows but
little.
/ suppose there is more of it,
whatever it is, in New York City IN
a week than in Mississippi in a
year. At least hear more of its
performances during one weeks Wis.,
it to New York than in twelve
months at home.
The figures gave above are from
the compilations of the Census
Bureau Department Of Agriculture
in Washington.
My own experience, and that
Of men who have come from the
North of Mississippi. is that it Is
q idICiJ hCoiOhy SiILh"IC "he SO"h
try, and that for delicate people,
delicate in lungs or throat, with
catarrhal or bronchial troubles, it is
q home of health and comfort. And
rs TO malaria, that is more to DE
dreaded in a week on the Hudson
than in all our borders in life
time.
] can from full knowledge and ex
aminations, and with full response
biliiy, say that in summer or win
ter, in spring or fall, there need be
no hesitation, on account of health,
in coming to Mississippi, and that
the DELEGATE and non-robust are like
ly to find here just the balmy and
temperate climate which will enable
them to live and work with com
parative case.

there is any thing wrong with the This
ties bottom. would like to see her out
Of water to know Just what she is like. It
is possible there may have been some-
thing wrong with the turpentine in the
paint, and it may have blistered and
roughened her bottom. We account for
the Thistle's defeat in the first place by the
Volunteer getting the best of US at the
start. That was fatal. Once she caught
the breeze and put such a stretch of water
between us as she did knew it was all up.
There is . mystery about the way the
Thistle worked. Why she has done better
under her trysaiis."
Captain Barr feels tho defeat Of yester-
day more than any one else does. He is
exceedingly Respondent to-day, and looks
worn and haggard. None Of the crew
looked cheerful.
Commodore Clark complained of the
rec3lessness Of the steamboat captains in
punching around the racers Nothing
will be done in the way of changing the
Thistle's sails as they are considered per-
feet. The only uncertainty in the minds,
OF the Scotchmen seems to be as to the

The MODERN NAT.

Tracing Il Bask 70 the RetasuD q the
Ancient Romanus.
The modern hat can be traced back
% the petasus worn by the ancient
Romans when on journey; and hats
With brims were also used, probably
IN IKE occasions. by the earlier
Greeks. It was not until after the
Roman conquest that the use Of hats
segan in England. A '.hatte of
Siever" about the middle of the twelfth
century was worn by some of the mo
sles of the lande, mette at Clarendom;"
Eroissart describes hats and plumes
which were worn at Edwards court in
1910, when the Garter Order was insti-
;uted. In the thirteenth century the
use of the scarlet hat which distin-
cuisines cardinals was sanctioned by
Pope Innocent Nv. The merchant in
chaucer's Canterbury Tales" had
ION his head Flaundrish bever hat;"
and from that period onward there is
frequent mention of ''felt hattes,"
"beever hates and other like names.
Throughout medieval time the wear
ing of hat was regarded rs mark
IF rank and distinction. The caprices
If fashion in hats during the reign of
Elizabeth may be understood from an
extract from Stubb's "Anatomia of
Abuses" published about 1886: "Some-
times they use them sharpe on the
:rowne. parking up like the spire or
,hafte of steeple, stand quarter of
yard above the crowne of their
leads; some more, some Jesse,
as please the fantasies of their
inconstant mindes. Other some be

kind of bande, sometimes with an
other; now black, now white, now
russed, now redde, now greene. now
yellow; now this, now that; never con-
tent with one color or fashion two
daies to an end" During the reign of
Charles l. the Puritans affected stee-
pie crown and broad-brimmed hat,
while the cavaliers adopted q lower
crown and broader brim ornamented
with feathers. Still greater breadth
Of brim and profusion of feathers
were fashionable characteristics of the
hats in the time of Charles IL, and the
gradual expansion of brim led to the
device of looping or tying up that por-
tion.. Hence arose various fashionable
socks" in hats, such as the "Mon-
mouth cock" etc.. and ultimately. by
the looping up equally of three sides
of the low crowned hat, the cooked hat
which prevailed throughout the eight
zenith century was elaborated. Since
the beginning Of the present century
the cooked hat as an ordinary article
Of dress has disappeared. The Quaker
hat, plain. low in crown, and broad in
brim, which originated with the sect in
the middle of the seventeenth century,
is now becoming uncommon.-Englist

GAIT OF CRIMINALS.
Discoveries OF an Interesting Charac
Made by Noted Physician.

Discoveries OF an Interesting Character
Made by q Noted Physician.
A curious study has been made by
DR.. Peracchia of the differences be-
tween criminals and law-abiding citi-
zens, as exhibited by their walk. The
author first made a number of observa.
tons to determine the conditions of
normal progression, and found that in
good people the right pace is longer
than the left, the lateral separation of
the right foot from the median line is
less than that of the left, and the an
gle of deviation of the axis of the foot
from straight line is greater on the
right side than on the left.
But this is not all. DR.. Peracchia
has not only shown us how we may
distinguish criminals in general, but
has laid the beginnings of the differ
entail diagnosis between various sorts
of evil-doers. The following are the
distinguishing characteristics which his
observations have enabled him to
formulate:
l. Thieves.-In those who are pre-
disposed to appropriate the property
of others there is q pronounced widen
ing of the base of support together
with very long step.
2. Assassins.-In those who have
murder in their hearts the base of
support is not as wide rs it is in thieves,
since the angle formed by the axis of
the foot with the median line is less
obtuse. but the sinistrality betrayed by
their footprints is very marked.
These discoveries are of very in
teresting character, and if the criminal
could be induced to walk before the
honest man. instead of following him
as he usually does. they might also be
put to practical use, for then good
citizens could diagnose the rogue by
his tracks, and might thus be enabled
to escape robbery, or assassination, IS
the case might be.-Medical Record.
